Chapter 4: Please tell me
The rain...what's with the rain?
Neji opened his eyes and was greeted with the darkness. He could hear soft breathing from the sleeping girl as well as the hitting of the rain. With a soft sigh, he stood up from his spot and walked towards the window. He placed his both hands onto the edge of the window and stared blankly at the wild.
There was nothing but darkness and the splashing of rain. He raised his head up to meet the full moon. It was silvery and it looked mysterious yet beautiful.
Just like Tenten...
He mentally slapped himself for just what he was thinking.
How can you be thinking that way, Neji...
That's so not like you!
He continued at the bright and round moon. Images of Tenten appeared before his eyes; however, those were not pretty images; they were images of the injured Tenten. For a moment, he felt guilty for what he had done. He felt bad for attacking her and making her suffer. He ran a hand through his hair and grunted. Accepting the challenge was a wrong thing to do after all; if he did not accept it, everything will be fine.
Suddenly, an image of the furious Lee flashed in his mind. Why...Why was he even so mad? He sighed again as he leaned against the nearest wall.
Is he...could he be...Is it possible that...He likes...
Then, a sneeze interrupted his thought; it was Tenten. He turned to her direction and noticed she was stirring under the blanket. With a mumble, she rolled to the other side of the bed.
Neji walked to the side of the bed and stared at her form. With the silvery moonlight reflecting onto her face...
She looks even more angelic...
He felt dizzy all of a sudden as he moved his hand towards the sleeping figure, in front of him. He suddenly had an urge to touch her...
What...what am I doing?
His hand was now centimeters away from her pink cheek.
I...I...Why am I doing this?
His hand was now millimeters away from her pink cheeks.
Neji Hyuuga...If you touch her, your life is ruined!
He did not listen to the voice that was talking in his mind; their skins met.
A burning sensation came up his face and felt his face flushed up with the touch. The heat of her face was radiating through his freezing hand.
It feels so right...
He ran a finger through her brown, smooth hair. The sweet scent of her hair still remained at the tips of the fingers.
As if the hitting rain was his heartbeat, he felt his heart race...
As if the darkness had taken control of his body, he lost his consciences.
He traced his forefinger along her jaw line.
Please Neji...Stop at this moment now!
Before he withdrawn his hand back to himself, he was caught by her hand.
"Neji?" Tenten mumbled and stirred her position, "What you doing..."
"I..." his face heated up while he was searching for an answer to the question, "I...I am just..." for a second, he was glad that it was mid night; at least Tenten could not see his burning and embarrassed face. He cleared his throat when his brain finally operated, "I was just checking if the wounds are still hurting you..."
A soft giggles escaped from her mouth, "liar..."
"I...I wasn't, Tenten..." Neji defended himself with his forehead clothed with sweats.
"Yes, you were, Neji..." Tenten murmured with her eyes closed, but with a smile hanging on her lips.
She used her rest hand to push the blanket off her body as she pulled Neji towards the bed.
"Tenten?" Neji blushed and tried to escape from her grip, "I...what...I..."
"I am cold..." she mumbled as she continued pulling him, "sleep with me..."
Now what am I going to do?
I am sure she is still half sleeping...She doesn't know what she is doing...
What should I do?
"Tenten..." he whispered to her and gulped nervously, "I...can't..."
But his action betrayed him; he started climbing into the bed, feeling the warmth around him. He had to admit; he was cold. This was why he woke up in the middle of his sleep. He slid under the blanket and pulled the cover over the girl's body.
"Thank you..." giving him her last smile, she fell back into a deep sleep.
The grip on his hand lossen as he shifted his position.
Who cares...It's not like she is going to kill me when she finds out I am sleeping beside her...
But who knows if...Lee will kill me or not...
He likes Haruno Sakura...why would he kill me?
But what if...
Another interruption disturbed his thought.
Maybe it was an unconscious reaction, she leaned onto his form.
He blinked and realized she was breathing through her mouth.
He could feel everything; He could feel her weight; He could feel her touch, He could feel her breathing, He could feel her beating heart.
Please tell me...
Please tell me...
Please tell me...
...that I am not in love.
Neji rolled to the other side carefully, not wanting to wake her up. His back was now facing her. He did not want to look at her...or did he? He tried to fall asleep without remembering she was there right beside him. But he couldn't.
Suddenly, Tenten slipped her arms around his waist from behind and buried her face onto his back.
Now what...now what?
He started to panic...was she sleeping? Or was she pretending to be asleep for the whole time? He looked over his shoulder and saw a sleeping figure.
Maybe she is asleep after all...
He stared at her for a few minute before switching his gaze to the ceiling. His face was burning up into bright pink.
Why? Why does her have this affect on me?
Do I...Am I...
No! I am not!
He shifted to a more comfortable position without waking her up; however, her arms were still around him. He attempted to shove her off of him, but he found that he did not have to strength to. He was afraid...he was afraid to hurt her again...
He closed his eyes for a moment, thinking about why Lee got so mad at him. He was never this mad before. Why do I bother thinking about it anyways? Why do I have to care?
If Tenten did not take next action, his mind would have continued to wander...
She was sleeping on him!
Her legs were tangled with his and her arms were linked around his body; Her face was leaning against his chest.
He opened his eyes and looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms.
She is sleeping...
Tenten mumbled, the grip on Neji tightened as if he was the pillow and her only heat producing object.
Stop thinking, Neji!
Go to sleep...NOW!
Eventually, he fell asleep.
What is this feeling?
It is so warm...
Everything is feeling so right...
It feels like Neji...
With a grunt, Tenten peeled her eyelids opened. The sunlight was beaming into her brown eyes; she leaned her head deeper into her "pillow" and just realized there was something moving below her.
What is this?
Her eyes wandered to a gray object in front of her as she gasped in her mind.
Please don't tell me...
Please don't tell me...
She raised her head slowly and was greeted with Neji's face.
He was still sleeping, like a kid having a good dream.
OH MY GOD!
